The White Line Fever of I 26 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Eisenhower with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 11.343 billion Highwaymen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asheville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.1%.

The powerhouse Roadworthy economy, worth a remarkable 1,018 trillion tolls a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,832 tolls, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

The clergy of Constructionist remains a single-sex institution, heartwarming sentiments are even hotter now, the word "alcohol" is a trauma trigger for children as young as five, and businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. I 26's national animal is the Marlin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Constructionist.

I 26 is ranked 261,017th in the world and 22nd in North Carolina for Most Patriotic, with 1.22 flags saluted per person per day.
